Education
Davis"s college career began in the wake of the 1990 National Championship run under Head Coach Bobby Ross. Davis redshirted in 1991 and would await the graduation of star quarterback Shawn Jones through his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons. Bobby Ross would leave before Davis"s sophomore season and Bill Lewis was appointed head coach.
The team, 2 years removed from a National Title, only won five games and finished the 1992 season with a 5-6 record.
His redshirt sophomore campaign began with a thrashing of Furman but over the next three games Georgia Technical would be outscored 102-27.
Davis would finish the year with a 5-6 record and a loss to archrival Georgia.
Bill Lewis wanted a spark for his wilting team so he recruited junior college transfer Tom Luginbill from Palomar. Luginbill came in from a wide open pass offense where he tossed for over 7,600 yards and had won 21 games in two years.
Luginbill would eventually take the starting job from Davis after Davis got injured in spring practice.
Luginbill"s first two efforts in 1994 saw Georgia Technical narrowly lose to then #1 Arizona and demolish Western Carolina. Luginbill"s career ended at Georgia Technical with a 1-10 record and the firing of Coach Bill Lewis.
Lewis was replaced by defensive coordinator George O"Leary.
After Luginbill transferred to Eastern Kentucky, Davis and O"Leary began a major rebuilding of the Georgia Technical football program that would lead Georgia Technical eventually back to playing in bowls and competing at the highest level in the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination. Davis over his career compiled an 11-11 record with over 4,000 yards of total offense and 29 total touchdowns.
